Finding good movies for families to rent can actually be harder than it should be sometimes since we have so many options like NetFlix, DirecTV, Blockbuster, Redbox, and more. But the key word here is "good" movies that are worth watching and not garbage. Sometimes that perfect movie the whole family wants to see came out 3 years ago, but can't be found to rent anywhere.

Enter the ever popular Amazon.com and their Prime Membership that offers tons of family friendly movies as well as every other genre. From old classics, Christian movies, documentaries, and foreign flicks, to popular television series', it's likely to be on Amazon.com's shelf ready for renting. There are thousands of movies that come free with Prime and others for instant streaming, rental or purchase.

Here's a perfect real life example of how this Amazon Prime Membership can be a real entertainment blessing: My wife and I were both home sick recently and wanted to just veg on the couch. The movie she wanted to see again was "Julie & Julia" with Meryl Streep and Amy Adams. A great heart warming story and good movie for the whole family to rent. But it wasn't available at Redbox , not at a nearby Blockbuster, nor available to stream from NetFlix. But it was available on Amazon Prime. A few clicks later, it was on our Watchlist waiting for us to stream it to our WiFi BluRay player. No need to drive anywhere to pick it up which is a big plus if you're sick.

There are many benefits to having Amazon Prime including FREE Two-Day Shipping for eligible purchases, Amazon Instant Video and the ability to borrow books from the Kindle Owners' Lending Library. If you purchase from Amazon.com frequently, your the savings on shipping alone might pay for the whole annual membership.

Amazon Prime is a great resource offering good movies for families to rent or purchase. They also offer a Free 30-Day Trial to see if it's a good fit for your family. And if you need to upgrade your Blu Ray player to instantly stream movies, click the link above to see the top sellers on Amazon. Get the Prime Membership first, then you should get Free two-shipping thrown in. Just a thought. We've enjoyed our Sony Blu Ray Player. With the WiFi connection we listen to Pandora quite a bit, catch movies on Amazon and Netflix, and of course the movies on Blu Ray. Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your movie!
